Hello,

I'm trying to download books from alt.binaries.e-book. I believe I have to join a newsgroup to do this (or is this the newsgroup)? Please help an absolute beginner ...

What should I do first? I see a bunch of files and a button at the bottom that says Save Nzb. I'd like to save these books as a .pdf file to read on my pc.

A step by step for this dummy please ... I have Rogers High-speed.

your ISP has to have a newsgroup you can get on to, or you have to subscribe to one.

The free ones normally have a poor retention rate so you might have a hard time getting what you want

newsgroups are not easy to use, and its not like kazza where you just search and away you go
